I’ve always been keen to find out some of my favourite author’s writing methods; whether they sit down with a cup of tea, or a strong drink, what kind of typewriter they used, whether they sat in their garden shed or in a cluttered study- that kind of thing.

Some highlights:
Ernest Hemingway:
George Orwell:
William S. Burroughs:
Tennessee Williams:

So legit. I may have had a typewriter on my gift list for years, but now I’m content with a keyboard and big desk…I guess.
